What is TiDB?

TiDB (The pronunciation is: /'taɪdiːbi:/ tai-D-B, etymology: titanium) is an open source distributed scalable Hybrid Transactional and Analytical Processing (HTAP) database built by PingCAP. Inspired by the design of Google F1 and Google Spanner, TiDB features infinite horizontal scalability, strong consistency, and high availability. The goal of TiDB is to serve as a one-stop solution for both OLTP (Online Transactional Processing) and OLAP (Online Analytical Processing).

• Horizontal scalability

  TiDB provides horizontal scalability simply by adding new nodes. Never worry about infrastructure capacity ever again.

• MySQL compatibility

  Easily replace MySQL with TiDB to power your applications without changing a single line of code in most cases and still benefit from the MySQL ecosystem.

• Distributed transaction

  TiDB is your source of truth, guaranteeing ACID compliance, so your data is accurate and reliable anytime, anywhere.

• Cloud Native

  TiDB is designed to work in the cloud -- public, private, or hybrid -- making deployment, provisioning, and maintenance drop-dead simple.

• No more ETL

  ETL (Extract, Transform and Load) is no longer necessary with TiDB's hybrid OLTP/OLAP architecture, enabling you to create new values for your users, easier and faster.

• High availability

  With TiDB, your data and applications are always on and continuously available, so your users are never disappointed.
